Show Notes

What is the best way to navigate unexpected change? Listen in on Brooke’s conversation with Lexi, former Live Out Loud Director of Communications, and new team members Sierra and Annie as they share what they’ve learned about maintaining your integrity, trusting God, and leaning into prayer through a difficult transition.

Question Highlights

  • Lexi, can you take us back to the moment you told me you were leaving Live Out Loud?
  • Sierra and Annie, can you tell us about your journeys to join the Live Out Loud team? How did you feel coming in and what has it been like so far? 
  • Lexi, what are you the most excited about with where Live out Loud is headed? What are your parting words for the Live Out Loud community? 
  • Sierra and Annie, tell us about your roles on the Live Out Loud team. Where do you see this going? 
  • Sierra and Annie, you’ve been working around the clock for the last few weeks and gotten to see behind the scenes in the Elite Mastermind and IGNITE Membership. What have you been most impressed with? What do you see as the biggest benefits of those programs?
  • Lexi, Sierra and Annie, what is the #1 thing you’ve learned from this experience the last 4 weeks? How did this experience shift or change you as a woman?
